16:1 | | <Michtam. Of David.> Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith. |
16:2 | | O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you. |
16:3 | | As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight. |
16:4 | | Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips. |
16:5 | | The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right. |
16:6 | | Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage. |
16:7 | | I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night. |
16:8 | | I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved. |
16:9 | | Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope. |
16:10 | | For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. |
16:11 | | You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever. |
